The confused morality of Star Wars

I realized midway through Rogue One that I was actually watching a terrorist hagiography, so let's talk about that. (This post should not be taken anywhere near as seriously as my other rants, but I do intend it to be more serious than the "Alderaan had it coming" mentality some corners of the internet have. I may veer into r/EmpireDidNothingWrong territory here occasionally, and I hope you will take it as inoffensively as possible.)

Revenge of the Sith is awful

Fine. I'll do it.


I still can't get over a franchise called Star Wars - "war" being right there in the title - thinks that war is so egregious and abnormal that it has to highlight the fact that the galaxy is at war in the very first sentence of the opening crawl.
